    We report the presence of Triatoma longipennis for the first time in two localities in Hidalgo, Mexico. This study was conducted at Tecozautla municipality, Hidalgo. Collection was performed in April 2022. We collected eight triatomines from Guadalupe: two fourth-instar nymphs, three fifth-instar nymphs, one female, and two males. In San Miguel Caltepantla, a female was collected inside a dwelling. One sample tested positive for Trypanosoma cruzi. These findings suggest the need to investigate the dynamics of this species with respect to the inhabitants of the study area.
